Hi. I know a bit about the tune. It was written by Colin Melville who is from Scotland. He was formerly a member of the Tannahill Weavers and I believe he has moved to Australia. His main instruments are pipes and whistles, thus the reference to the whistle in the title you refer to. Eoligarry is a place on the Island of Barra. I also love the tune and have just recently learned it on fiddle. Cheers from Charlattetown, PEI.
Thanks for this, I've been looking for a nice chord progression to record as I've learned to play Slow Airs on my low D tin whistle. Btw, Dixon are a UK based manufacturers of whistles and flutes.
hey David, Thanks for this info on Dixon whistles. I am obviously slow on reading and responding to comments! I am glad you like my chord progression. I guess that is the beauty of traditional tunes; they take on a life of their own in the hands of each individual musician as the tune gets passed along. Enjoy!
